U.S. food and retail sales rose 0.6% in May from April to $421.1 billion, according to the latest Commerce Department figures ahead of Wall Street expectations of a 0.4% rise.

Excluding autos, retail sales rose 0.3% from April 2013, in line with estimates of 0.3% growth and 3.4% above last year.

Bucking the general malaise in the sector on Friday was Restoration Hardware , which rose on better-than-expected earnings.

Shares surged 16.1% to $68.47 after the home-furnishing company hiked its current quarter outlook and reported first-quarter earnings that beat expectations by 2 cents at 6 cents a share. Revenue also topped estimates as same-store sales soared by 41% in the first quarter. The company also announced RH Kitchen and Tableware, which will cater towards "kitchen furniture, appliances, lighting, cookware, tools and food," the company said in a press release.

Shares of Best Buy fell 2.5% to $26.87. The Richfield, Minn.-based electronics retailer unveiled a Windows Store partnership with Microsoft that mirrors a similar concept it's already rolled out with Samsung.

Best Buy said Thursday it will create Windows stores within 600 of the company's stores, about 100 of those in Canada, in a partnership with Microsoft.

Lululemon Athletica's shares fell 1% to $66.15. Lululemon's stock tanked 17% this week after CEO Christine Day said she was leaving the athletic apparel company once her replacement was found.
